The celebration of Malala Day

on Sunday, November 11, 2012

Malala Yousufzai is a 14-year-old Pakistani girl who lives in the Swat Valley. She is known worldwide for the voice she raised against the Taliban and for fighting for the rights of women to acquire education. Previously, Swat was invaded by the Taliban, girls’ schools were destroyed through bomb blasts and girls were prohibited from acquiring education. Malala was one of the girls who raised her voice and fought for her right. After the Pakistani Army took over Swat and cleaned it from the Taliban, the girls started going back to school and people in the Swat Valley’s lives returned to normal. Malala has been awarded with various peace awards and is an inspiration for millions of girls worldwide. A month ago, Malala was shot in the forehead by Taliban armed firemen when she was on her way to home from school.

The terrorist first stopped the school van and then asked for identification of Malala Yousufzai, when they got her confirmation they opened fire which injured Malala along with her classmates Shazia and Kainat. Malala was shot in the forehead and the bullet passed through her brain and neck. Malala and her friends were shifted to Peshawar hospital, later they were airlifted to an Army hospital in Rawalpindi. There she went under surgery and the bullet was removed. For further recovery Malala was then shifted to Queen Elizabeth hospital in Birmingham through an air ambulance. Malala is recovering there and has come out of her coma, various pictures and videos have been released of her which showed that she’s recovering.

The Secretary General of UN Ban Ki-moon has extended his support for this young, brave and ambitious girl, and has declared November 10 to be celebrated as Malala Day worldwide. The celebrations are taking place in which millions of girls and social activists are hosting events in support of Malala. Thousands of people from across the world have signed a petition for Malala to be awarded with the Nobel Peace prize. The girl has received support and wishes from various leaders including Obama. The government of Pakistan should take some steps to prevent such kinds of incidents in the future. It is a duty of government to protect the lives and wealth of all residents. Therefore such activities should be discouraged and stopped in future.  The Malala issue has risen in the whole world and famous leaders of the world are supporting her.

There is not any cause to award a noble prize to this young girl. You can check the educational background of her you will not find any good position. She passed the classes with average marks. Similarly Malala doesn’t create and introduce any technology for the benefit of human beings. Therefore, it is not right to award noble prize to this young girl. However it is important to stop such events and cases in future.
